Difference between "can I use your car" and " Can I borrow your car"
Hi, I have a question.
Is there any difference between "Can I use your car?" and "Can I borrow your car"
I googled these sentences and found out that these seems correct but would like to know if there's any difference or not.
Thank you in advance.
